PEERNET’s subscription license is available for all license levels of TIFF Image Printer 12, PDF Image Printer 12, Raster Image Printer 12, Document Conversion Service 3.0, and PEERNET Reports.

A subscription license gives users complete access to all features of the software for the term of one (1) year term. When your annual subscription is valid, you have complete access to the software up to the limit of licenses purchased.

With a subscription license, users can:

  • activate and use the software up to the limit of number of licenses purchased
  • move the software to a new computer or re-load the software after a computer crash or operating system upgrade, either through your PEERNET online account or by contacting PEERNET
  • access all updates and upgrades released free of charge
  • rely on priority technical support from the PEERNET team

A subscription license gives you the confidence to switch computers, upgrade your operating system or reformat your computer without worrying about your PEERNET software. Furthermore, a subscription license provides the security that should your computer crash unexpectedly you know that you have not lost access to your software. In all of these situations, you can simply edit your activation details through your PEERNET online account or contact PEERNET to adjust your license so that you are able to re-load your license and continue using the software.

A subscription license must be renewed annually through your PEERNET online account in order to continue using the software and accessing the benefits detailed above.

PEERNET’s one-time license is only available for End User licenses of TIFF Image Printer 12, PDF Image Printer 12, and Raster Image Printer 12.

A one-time license gives users access to a perpetual activation of the software up to the limit of number of licenses purchased.

This is a classic software license meaning that you can go on using any license(s) you purchase for as long as you like, but once a license is consumed it can never be moved/transferred to a new computer or re-used after an operating system upgrade, computer crash or reformatting (any action that would change the computer identity).

With a one-time license, you are not entitled to request license adjustments from PEERNET or edit your activation details through your PEERNET online account. In addition, you will not receive any update or upgrades that are released. Lastly, you are only entitled to the most basic technical support.

For the ability to request license adjustments, edit your activation details, access updates and upgrades, and receive priority technical support, please see our subscription license.

PEERNET’s On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription is for a one (1) year term and includes the ability to request a license adjustment, priority technical support, and continuous access to your software download, including all updates and upgrades, via your PEERNET online account.

A license adjustment is required when the software is being moved from one computer to another computer, or being re-loaded after a computer crash or operating system upgrade. Essentially, you need a license adjustment any time the computer identity changes. Without a valid subscription, you would have to purchase a new license in any of these situations.

On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription also provides you the confidence that you have access to the latest release of the software at all times, and priority technical support if required. With an active subscription you will never have to purchase an upgrade.

Annually the subscription must be renewed through your PEERNET online account in order to continue accessing the above benefits. Note: For particular software and/or license levels, the annual renewal is mandatory in order to continue using the software.

Not applicable to TIFF Image Printer 12, PDF Image Printer 12, and Raster Image Printer 12.

Yes, you can add licenses to an existing serial number.

A serial number can have endless number of licenses, and additionally the more licenses you have attached to a single serial number, the lower the price per license. Therefore, it is beneficial to add to an existing serial number versus purchasing another license on a new serial number. For more information on available volume discounts, please see our complete volume discounts overview.

To add licenses to an existing serial number through your online account:

  1. Please go to Login.
  2. Please sign in using your email address and password.
  3. Select the My Products tab.
  4. Your purchased software will be listed. Select Manage Product for your desired serial number.
  5. Select Add Licenses for the applicable serial number. Note: For an existing subscription license or an existing license with a valid On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription, the cost of the remaining subscription period will be pro-rated for the new licenses.

  7. Select Checkout.

Upon completion of your purchase the number of licenses purchased will be added to the serial number.

You will also receive an email confirmation that will contain a summary of financial details, the serial number and the download link.

A license adjustment is required when the software is being moved from one computer to another computer. A license adjustment is when PEERNET adjusts your serial number to un-license your existing computer, which then allows you to license your new computer using the same serial number.

Only customers with either an active subscription license or an active On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription are entitled to move their software to a new computer.

To do so please, email [email protected] with your serial number, the name of your old computer, and the reason for the license adjustment so the reset can be authorized and completed. If you own a subscription license of TIFF Image Printer 12, PDF Image Printer 12, Raster Image Printer 12 or PDF Creator Plus 8 you can deactivate your old computer yourself by uninstalling the software or through your PEERNET online account by editing your activation details.

If you have let your On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription expire, PEERNET cannot carry out a license adjustment on your serial number. In order to remedy this, you will have to do one of the following:

  • Add an On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription, if it is within one year of your initial purchase or within one year of the expiry date of a previously valid On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription.
  • Purchase a new serial number of the software that can be used for your new computer, with a valid On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription so you do not encounter this issue again.
  • Purchase an additional license that can be used for your new computer, if you are running the current version.
  • Purchase an upgrade to the latest version, if you are running a non-current version.

If you have let your subscription license expire, you are required to renew your annual subscription before you will be able to move a license to a new computer. If you own a one-time license, you do not have the ability to move your license to a new computer. In this situation you will either need to purchase a new one-time license or a new subscription license to activate the software on a new computer.

If you are a registered owner of our software and have an active subscription license or an active On-Going Licensing and Support Subscription, any updates released will automatically appear in your PEERNET online account by updating the release version number of the software download button.
